- Alvarinho, sourced from carefully selected small parcels of Alvarinho, is intended to express the terroir and wines' sense of place. Fermentation and ageing took place in oak. Full malolactic fermentation was carried out for 4 months, and then total ageing in the oak barrels took 9 months in the presence of lees without stirring. On the nose, aromas of lemon peel, green apple, lemongrass and seashells. The palate is rich and rounded with laser-focused acidity. Incisive flavours of lemon, unripe peach, green apple, and green mango are at the core, with focused minerals.
Upon commencing his venture, Luis' idea was to create uncompromising wines, the wines he wanted to make that were authentic expressions of the region. His winemaking is minimal intervention, and the style very much reflects the concentration of care lavished by this experienced winemaker on his tiny output: pure yet complex, more savoury than fruity, with a density of texture and long, almost salty finishes marking the wines out as something extraordinary. Luis's reputation has spread only a few years after a stunning debut vintage, and his wines are now on tight allocation.

| Winery | Since establishing his eponymous winery in 2012, Luis Seabra has become a superstar of the Portuguese wine scene – although, in his previous role as Dirk Niepoort’s right-hand man, he already had a hand in crafting some of the Douro’s most exciting wines. Production is minuscule, at just 5,000 bottles each of his top Crus a year. Winemaking is minimal intervention, and the style very much reflects the concentration of care lavished by this experienced winemaker on his tiny output: pure yet complex, more savoury than fruity, with a density of texture and long, almost salty finishes marking the wines out as something very special |
